How to diversify my first $5000 portfolio to minimize risk?

hi,

I've finally saved up $5000 for my first real investment portfolio, and I'm trying not to mess this up! I've been reading about diversification and risk management, but honestly, I'm getting a bit overwhelmed with all the options.

Should I split it between stocks and bonds? What about ETFs? I've heard people mention putting some money in different sectors and international markets, but I'm not sure what percentages make sense for a small portfolio like mine.

Thanks in advance!
